man, who several months ago appeared at
the station-house and adopted it, refusing
to get lost or stay away many days, though
sent to various portions Of the State. The
last experiment was TO forward him to the
from" of the California and Oregon Rail-
road, to work as a laborer. He was fitted
out with serviceable clothing, blankets, a
stovepipe hat and five or six dollars in
money, and sent up there. Yesterday
morning he reappeared at the station
house, and his old-time self-satisfied grin
overspread his countenance as he cheer

THE RAILROAD COMMISSION DECISION
When critically and logically examined it is
conclusively demonstrated by the opinions
of the Justices that the spirit of the inves-
tgation was as grave an error in law as it
was an offense to good manners and the
moral sense of the people. Justice Field,
in an opinion both plain and powerful, has
shown that attempts to probe the private
affairs of individuals can only be exercised
according to definite legal principles and
by tribunals charged with the power OF re-
dressing public and private wrongs, and
only then under proper safeguards for the
projection of the individual Any other
course or doctrine is contrary 10 the primer
pies of free government, and is abhorrent
to the instincts of Englishmen and Ameri-
cans. The opinion gives new force and an
added value TO that clause of the national
Constitution, which declares that 1.-The
right of the people to secure in their per-
sons, houses, papers and effects against I'M
reasonable searches and seizures shall not
be violated" and it gives a definite clue to
what shall be a reasonable cause. The in
terest in and value of this decision does
not lie in the enunciation of any novel
principles of law. but in its clear statement
of well recognized values touching the most
valued rights of personal liberty, and their
clinching application to the admitted facts
of the pending investigation.-Odkl III
